Complete the following steps to create a Logical Volume:
1. In the 'Logical Volume Functions -> Create Logical Volume' screen, select the
RAID on which the new Logical Volume is to be created, by using the Create
button in the row of the selected RAID.
2. The following screen will allow the user to make the following adjustments:
a. Assign and enter a name for the Logical Volume in the 'Logical Volume'
text box.
b. If the logical volume is to be a private volume, tick the checkbox labeled
"Private". If the logical volume is to be a global volume, leave the
checkbox un-ticked.

by selecting the appropriate value from the drop-down box for each port.
d. If the volume is a global volume, either map the volume to a port by
selecting a LUN from the drop-down box for that port or leave the volume
unmapped at a certain port, by selecting "Unmapped" for that port.
e. Enter the required capacity (in Gigabytes) of the Logical Volume to be
created.
